We’re entering the home straight with just a week to go until Classics at the Castle, proudly sponsored by Lockton. Join us for a fabulous celebration of Porsche classics within the beautiful grounds of Hedingham Castle in Essex on Sunday, 15 September.
As well as the early air-cooled cars, the spectacular national event will be celebrating 50 years of the Porsche Turbo, 50 years of G-Model in the UK, and 25 years of the GT3 – all with dedicated display parking areas.
993 owners are in for a treat, with Tony Hatter attending as a special VIP guest. While Hatter is widely recognised as the lead designer of the 993, he was also a key figure in the design of multiple iconic Porsches including the 996 GT3, the 997 GT2 and the production model Carrera GT.
All Porsche owners and enthusiast are of course very much welcome at Classics at the Castle, with dedicated Porsche Parking in the “Water Garden” for water-cooled models, transaxles, SUVs and EVs.
